Choosing a radial brake master cylinder suitable for your motorcycle is essential to guarantee effective braking in any riding situation. In this article, we will explore the differences between three popular brands of radial master cylinders: Brembo, Nissin, and Braking.

Brembo Radial Pump

Let's start with the Brembo radial master cylinder. The Brembo brand is synonymous with exceptional quality and performance in the brake industry.

Their radial master cylinders are designed to ensure high braking pressure and perfect modulation , meaning the driver can precisely control the amount of braking needed in each situation.

Furthermore, Brembo radial brake master cylinders are built with high quality materials, ensuring long life and exceptional resistance to high temperatures.

Brembo produces a large variety of radial master cylinders. The most famous, the RCS, is the radial pump recommended for road and track use. It is the most versatile and an excellent combination of braking power and modulability. Also fits with ABS systems

Then there is the entire Racing range which goes from the least expensive and affordable to everyone to those used in MotoGP, true works of art, affordable to a few.

Nissin Radial Pump

The Nissin radial master cylinder is another popular option for racers looking for a high-quality master cylinder. The Nissin brand is known for its attention to detail and precision in the design of its products.

It is no coincidence that they equip many of the Japanese motorcycles.

Nissin produces fewer radial master cylinder models than Brembo, but with high braking power.

The cost? Certainly more affordable than the Brembo, but...the aesthetic lines are not the same and you have to tolerate a greater free travel of the lever than the Brembo.

If you like to brake as soon as you touch the lever, this is not your ideal master cylinder. But if you have that little moment of emptiness, the Nissin also gives you great satisfaction (and you keep some money in your pocket).

Braking Radial Pump

Finally, the Braking radial pump. Braking has certainly aimed for an aesthetic that makes it recognisable. The pumps are supplied in two versions: one with a silver lever, apparently a little more classic, and one with a black lever, certainly more aggressive and with a racing character.

The braking power is beyond any doubt: it is equipped with accessories already included such as the mirror holder and the brake fluid reservoir

In the end which radial pump to choose?

In conclusion, choosing the right radial master cylinder for your vehicle is essential to ensure effective braking in any driving situation. Brembo, Nissin and Braking radial master cylinders are all excellent options for drivers looking for a high-quality master cylinder and exceptional performance.

• If you want the best in terms of braking, aesthetics and customization/adjustments, then choose nothing other than a Brembo radial master cylinder .
• If you want to keep costs lower, without sacrificing braking power, choose Nissin. Slightly older lines, but when it starts to brake, it brakes hard.
• If you want a compromise between aesthetics and braking power, without spending too much, choose Braking.

These are our main guidelines.

Remember that choosing the correct radial master cylinder also depends on the type of caliper fitted to your motorbike. The rule that the larger the pump piston is, the harder it brakes, doesn't work.
